I make a lot of soup throughout the year, including gazpacho, minestrone, Hungarian mushroom, curried squash, and chile/chili stew, but this is my favorite. The recipe originally came from the Silver Palate “Good Times” cookbook, a strong early influence full of joyful entertaining tips and recipes organized by holiday and season. I’ve adapted it in several respects to reduce the fat and increase the veggies, among other things.
When I tell friends that it is a miraculously healing soup, I am only half-kidding: chicken Read More
Living Well Los Alamos: Slow Cooker Month
By HELEN IDZOREKWith the New Year upon us many of us make resolutions to improve our health—both physically and financially.
January is Slow Cooker Month. Slow cookers use less electricity than an oven and because they use long, low temperature cooking, less expensive cuts of meat come out tender. Though we often turn to slow cookers for making winter soups and stews, they also work well in the summer as they do not heat up the kitchen like an oven. You can use your saved time from slow cooking to be physically active or to spend time with your family.

While slow Read More
Pastor Granillo: This Is Our Story

The Bible talks about this issue, in fact, I would say that this issue is interwoven into the entire Read More
